$135 for Ordinary Soup

May 23, 2011

Milo's is a New York restaurant known for its pricey food options. Grilled peppers will cost $18.50, a crab cake is $29.50, a green salad $20.50 and fish dishes are at least $40 per pound. That is not, however, the most expensive thing on the menu

That honor goes to the Lavraki and Petropsara Soup, which is described as "a traditional fish soup from the island of Santorini" on the menu. The portion is designed for two people and that's a good thing because it is $135. 

Gothamist, which reported the outrageously expensive soup in the first place, quoted another writer as saying, the soup "contains no saffron, caviar, foie gras, shares of LinkedIn, Kool-Aid points, or anything that could possibly justify the cost."

Would you ever consider paying that much for soup? Has anyone eaten at Milo's?
